Why Most Nutrition Plans Fail (And Why We’re Doing the 800g Challenge Instead)

CrossFit training with wall ball

A simple, realistic approach to nutrition that actually fits your life

CF Hierarchy new1

Let’s be honest.

Most nutrition plans don’t fail because they don’t work…

They fail because they don’t fit.

They’re too restrictive.

Too complicated.

Too overwhelming to sustain when life gets busy.

And if you’re a busy adult juggling work, family, and everything else, that matters.

A lot.

That’s exactly why we’re running the 800g Challenge starting April 27th at Outsiders CrossFit.

Not because it’s trendy.

But because it’s simple, effective, and—most importantly—something people can actually stick to.

So… What Is the 800g Challenge?

At its core, the 800g Challenge is exactly what it sounds like:

�� Eat 800 grams of fruits and vegetables every day

That’s it.

No cutting carbs.

No eliminating foods.

No tracking every calorie.

Just one clear, measurable target.

And that’s what makes it powerful.

Why This Works (When Other Plans Don’t)

Most people approach nutrition like they approach fitness:

They go all in…

Try to be perfect…

Then burn out and fall off.

Sound familiar?

The problem isn’t effort.

It’s that the approach is too extreme to maintain.

The 800g Challenge flips that.

Instead of focusing on what you can’t eat…

It focuses on what you should add in.

And that simple shift changes everything.

What Happens When You Focus on Adding Instead of Restricting

When you consistently eat more fruits and vegetables:

You naturally crowd out less nutritious foods

You feel fuller (which helps with portion control)

You get more fiber, vitamins, and nutrients

Your energy improves

Your digestion improves

And for a lot of people…

Fat loss, performance, and overall health improve as a result—without obsessing over every detail.

This Isn’t About Perfection

This is important.

The goal isn’t to be perfect.

The goal is to be consistent.

Because consistency is what actually leads to results.

Not:

perfect days

extreme dieting

short bursts of motivation

Just showing up and doing something that moves the needle forward—every day.

Who This Challenge Is For

This is for you if:

You’ve struggled to stay consistent with nutrition

You’ve tried diets that didn’t last

You feel like you’re “starting over” all the time

You want a simple way to improve your health

You don’t want to overhaul your entire life just to get results

In other words…

If you’ve ever felt like:

“I just need something that actually works for me”

This is it.

What We’re Doing at Outsiders

We’re not just telling people to “eat more vegetables” and sending them on their way.

We’re doing this together as a community.

Inside the challenge, you’ll get:

Structure and accountability

Simple guidelines to follow

Support from coaches

Other members doing it with you

Because just like training…

You’re far more likely to succeed when you’re not doing it alone.

Why We Chose This Approach

At Outsiders, we believe something simple:

Most people don’t fail because they lack discipline.

They fail because what they’re trying doesn’t fit their life.

That applies to fitness.

And it absolutely applies to nutrition.

The 800g Challenge fits real life.

It’s not about being perfect.

It’s about doing something that actually works long-term.

What Happens After the Challenge

This isn’t just a 30-day reset.

It’s a starting point.

The goal is to:

build awareness

build habits

build consistency

So that when the challenge ends…

You don’t go back to square one.

You actually move forward.

How to Get Started

We kick things off April 27th, and we’d love to have you join us.

If you’re not and you’ve been thinking about getting back on track…

Final Thought

You don’t need a perfect plan.

You don’t need to overhaul everything overnight.

You just need something that works…

And something you can stick to.

This is that.
